Roy Wood Jr., a correspondent on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,” will perform in the Tavern on Saturday, Jan. 26, the Student Union Board announced this week. Doors for the event will open at 6:30 p.m.

Early fall exhibitions, arts and crafts, an interactive mural and more were on display on Sept. 29 at the Katzen Arts Center as the museum took part in D.C.’s citywide one-night art festival event, Art All Night.

AU seniors in the theater and musical theater programs aim to provide fun and enlightening themes this weekend as they present their capstone project, an original work titled “Un/Done: A Theatrical Odyssey.”

Dec. 1 marked AU Photo Collective’s fourth exhibition, Distressed and Distorted, at Studio 1469, located in the heart of Columbia Heights. Last semester’s theme was Vibrancy, so the turn to Distressed and Distorted is a noticeably important change.

My high school psychology teacher once explained alternative music as “guys with guitars in tight jeans singing about their ex-girlfriends.” It is hard to say that the French alt-rock band Phoenix doesn’t fit this criteria, but to pigeonhole them would be missing the bigger picture of their discography. Their latest album, “Ti Amo,” is a language hopping summer album, upbeat yet laid back in tone and style, that rides background guitar and foreground pop synth.

AU’s literary scene has a lot to look forward to this year, including a slew of new books by AU professors. These books span a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from the political far right youth in Germany all the way to childhood development issues facing the U.S.. The Eagle has compiled a great reading list from three of AU’s five schools, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Communication and the School of Public Affairs, just in time for summer reading.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers paid a visit to a sold-out Verizon Center on April 12, putting on a show celebrating a majority of the band’s discography. The band continued its tour in promotion of 2016’s “The Getaway” but, of course, did not forget about its timeless hits.

In the early 2000s, CDs were still the go-to for listening to music. Now, streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music have taken over, providing endless catalogs of music to discover and explore. Finding new circles of music has never been more accessible – there is an entire expanding universe of music hidden behind every smartphone and computer screen today.

The California-based Red Hot Chili Peppers have been a mainstay in the music industry since the 1990s with a funk-laced rock sound that refuses to get tired. The band’s latest tour, for its 2016 album "The Getaway", will bring the group to the Verizon Center on April 12. Some of the band’s most famous songs include “Can’t Stop,” “Californication” and “Dani California”; hits that are still heard on the radio today.

New Orleans is the home of Mardi Gras, but that does not mean you have to travel all the way down to Louisiana to celebrate. Much of the rest of America has taken on Mardi Gras as a sort of adopted holiday, and the District is no exception. Fat Tuesday falls on Feb. 28 this year, and is a time to celebrate with loads of decadent food and lively jazz. D.C. has no shortage of locations to enjoy your Mardi Gras.
